Hey everyone ..... i went on the scales and they say i'm 9stone 11lbs but when i use a converter online to turn it in to pounds i get all different answers anything from 123lbs to 140lbs so how much do i weigh in pounds ?? i just can't get my brain around this and why do the converter all say different. i need to no my start weight to keep track of weight loss x

I stone is 14 pounds. Therefore 9 stone is 126lbs if you then add on the 11lbs that gives you 137lbs.

There are 14 pounds in a stone so it would be 9 times 14 add 11 I think, so you would be 137

I had asked my husband what a "stone" was so he looked it up. He found that there is a European and an American measurement and they are not the same weight in lbs. I'm not sure which is which but that might account for the discrepancy.

I make that 137lb

Just x your stones by 14 and add the remaining pounds 9 x 14 = 126 +11 = 137

Good luck

I cheat and use google.
Just type in 'xx stone xx lbs to lbs' and the answer pops right up.

You can work it out manually because there are 14 pounds in every UK stone; 14lbs x 9 = 126 + 11 = 137

I use the free App Convert. Just checked and 1 stone = 14 pound there :-)

14 lbs = 1 st

Thus... if you were 12 st 4lbs

12 * 14 = 168 + 4 = 172 lbs

In the UK 14lbs in a stone (16oz in a lb). Can't believe it's different in the states??? Why can't these things be universal?
